On Wednesday, Toronto commuters jumped aboard an unexpectedly technicolour train on their way to work.
Canada’s newest ‘art train’ – the Art Train Conductor No. 9 – is a train car emblazoned with enough zig-zags and paint splashes to pry open the lids of any sleepy nine-to-fiver.
The Art Train, which uses a specially-designed app to engage passengers in environmental issues, is a collaborative work between Toronto’s Go Transit network and a Toronto-based arts organisation, No. 9 Contemporary Art and the Environment.
